Scientists tracking the populations of certain freshwater fish have found an increase in the female to male ratio of several sma

ller fish species over the last 10 years. One group of scientists have analyzed the data and hypothesized that medications in wastewater have contributed to this change in fish populations. Another group of scientists have hypothesized that this population trend is part of a cycle related to climate and ecosystem changes. If these two groups of scientists have access to the same population data, why have they formed two very different hypotheses?

A hypothesis tries to explain a data at hand. It is an educated guess which is testable and falsifiable. To test a hypothesis scientists carry out experiments following the scientific protocol. Based on the data obtained in the controlled experiments hypothesis are either proven correct or incorrect.

I believe that the answer to the question provided above is that <span>they formed two very different hypotheses since it is what they saw according to what they knew. Also hypothesis is just an intelligent guess.</span>

True or false: If you rub things together, electrons can move from one atom to another?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

What are the similarities between a chemical change and a physical change?
Reil [10]

Answer:

Physical and chemical changes are similar because they are both caused by the interaction of two or more particles.

Explanation:

Physical and chemical changes are similar because they are both caused by the interaction of two or more particles. Physical changes occur through vibrations, impacts, and other forms of movement. Chemical changes are caused by the interaction of two or more atoms or molecules.

Nickel is extracted from nickel oxide by reduction with carbon.
meriva

Answer:

Nickel is extracted from nickel oxide by reduction with carbon. Nickel is a metal which react with atmospheric oxygen which is very reactive in order to protect the inner surface of metal. Carbon extract oxygen which is attached to the nickel in the form of nickel oxide because carbon is more reactive so it made a chemical bonds with oxygen and nickel oxide is converted into a pure nickel.

Name the following compound: 2-ethyl-4-methylheptene 3,5-dimethyl-2-octene 2-ethyl-4-methylheptane 3-methyl-5-propyl-2-hexene
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

3,5-dimethyl-2-octene

Explanation:

The parent chain will be choosen based on the highest value. In this case, if we count from top to bottom, we'll get seven carbon, however if we count from the second carbon, going left and then down, we'll get eight carbon. So the parent chain is octene

The double bond is located at the second carbon and the methyl groups are located on carbon 3 & 5. Since there are two methyl groups, we add di- in front of methyl to indicate two methyl groups present.

Note: The functional group has to be prioritise and it needed to be a part of the parent chain. In this case, the functional group is the double bond. (alkene)

What is the molarity of a 250.0 milliliter aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide that contains 15.5 grams of solute
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

There are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes molarity. Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. The concentration of the solution is calculated as follows:

 <span> </span><span>Molarity = 15.5 g NaOH (1 mol NaOH / 40 g NaOH)  / .250 L solution</span>

<span>Molarity = 1.55 M</span>
